Winter's Crown

Once verdant land, now dormant 

Scouring winds disrobing trees.

Patterns on the woodland floor, 

In tapestries of fallen leaves.

Squirrels readying for sleep

Gathering nuts, tending dreys

Little creatures line their nests

Anticipating winter days.

As autumn finally takes her leave

And winter dons the crown

The woods shall fall silent,

When snow lies on the ground.
